You’re sure you are forcing it by using “let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer”, and then pointing to the folder, and the input.inf file…?
No, I haven’t changed anything in the .inf file.
In step 5.
After you installed the “eHome Infrared Receiver” did device manager detect an “unknown device”?
The driver for the “unknown device” is in the rar-file. You have to manually select “I choose a driver location” and point to the extracted folder HIDCLASSCIRCLASSIRDEVICE. A list should appear with the manufacturers and you select “Microsoft” in the left window pane. Then in the right pane you select “eHome Infrared Transceiver”.
Hope it helps. Please write back with response.I have uploaded the drivers here:

Steps to take:
1. Download the drivers, and extract them somewhere …
2. If not enabled, enable the service “Human Interface Device Access”.
3. Plugin the IR-receiver.
4. In the device manager, at device named “eHome Infrared Transceiver” has been discoveret. Install the driver “eHome Infrared RECEIVER” in the file irbus in the archive.
5. A new unknown device will be detected. Install the driver “Microsoft eHome Infrared TRANSCEIVER” from HIDCLASSCIRCLASSIRDEVICE.
6. Done.
The drivers are from Vista x86 Sp1 UK.I use Mediaportal with a Hauppauge pvr-500-mce. Works fine, after I copied over 2 files, and registered them.
Had the same problem, and after fiddling around with drivers from Vista x32 I finally got it to work. 🙂
After you’ve made a clean install, a device “eHome Infrared Transceiver” is in the device manager. But what you do is, you install the “eHome Infrared RECEIVER” for that device. After that a new device is detected, which you install the “eHome Infrared Transceiver” for. Then it works.
If you wan’t I can post the drivers I extraced from a Vista installation a little later.
